When I was in Meijer (regional grocery chain) the other day, I noticed that the lawn sculptures were on sale for 60% off.  So, at that price, I purchased a second bird for my back yard.  And, since I was low on seed for my feeders, I also purchased 40 lbs. of sunflower seeds.

As I am going through the store, people are noticing the 5 foot bird in my cart.  Then they spot the sunflower seeds.  At that point, I comment that I don’t know how much he eats.  I then pet his head and state that if we run out, I will just have to buy some more.

People will either laugh or turn away in horror.  Go figure.
